Romina Gaetani Files Criminal Complaint Against Ex as Prosecutors Open Gender-Violence Case

She was treated and discharged in Pilar, and a specialized unit led by prosecutor María José Basiglio imposed a restraining order and began gathering medical and witness evidence.

Overview

  • Police and SAME responded to a 911 alert from Tortugas Country Club on the night of Dec. 28–29, where Gaetani reported an assault allegedly triggered by jealousy and was found distressed and injured.
  • Hospital staff in Pilar documented visible bruises on her arms and hip, with her lawyer later noting additional injuries to legs and back, which activated gender-violence protocols and fiscal intervention.
  • The case was provisionally classified as “lesiones leves agravadas por el vínculo,” and the gender-violence prosecutor’s office assumed control of the investigation.
  • Luis Ramón Cavanagh was identified and taken to a police station to give a statement and is under a court-ordered restriction barring contact or approach.
  • After being discharged, Gaetani ratified her complaint, and investigators are taking statements from security, police, and medical personnel while compiling forensic and documentary evidence.
